I cannot remember to have read that. Perhaps you can cite the
appropriate section. The only thing the GPL requires is that I do not
further control the distribution of any file I gave someone else (except
as far as controlled by the terms of the GPL). It does not require me or
the other person to share the information with anyone else.
